It was founded in 2007 by Louis Nguyen, and as of 2014 had total assets under management of USD $125 million. Its Vietnam office is based in Ho Chi Minh City.[1]

Investment Funds

SAM manages a Vietnam-focused, open-end investment fund [2] that was launched in August 2007 and converted from a closed-end fund in June 2013. The fund is currently listed on the Stuttgart Stock Exchange.

  • Vietnam Equity Holding (VEH) is an equity fund investing in companies with significant exposure to Vietnam.[3]
  • Vietnam Property Holding (VPH) was a real estate fund investing in a portfolio of listed property developers and development projects in Vietnam[4] that has since merged with VEH as of June 2017.

VEH invests in listed companies on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange and Hanoi Stock Exchange, over-the-counter (OTC), private companies/development projects and/or debt securities.[5]

SAM assists its portfolio companies in pursuing international standards by taking board positions to influence corporate governance and transparency.[6] It currently holds board positions at two listed real estate development companies in Vietnam, Century 21 (C21) [7][8] and Nam Bay Bay (NBB).[9]

In 2014, VEH was ranked in the Top 3 for best investment performance in Vietnam by Edmond de Rothschild.[10]
